Interesting info on this thread. Does anyone know what this one means? S877A
Entfall Überkreuzbedienung Delete cross-pattern operation
Cross Pattern Operation relates to the activation and deactivation of the alarm/immobiliser when using the key or remote.Entfall Überkreuzbedienung Delete cross-pattern operation
I 'believe' it's this way round :
If you have Cross Pattern Operation then if you lock the car with the remote but unlock with the key, the key will deactivate the alarm.
If Cross Pattern Operation is deleted then if you lock the car with the remote and unlock with the key, the alarm will NOT be deactivated.

Richard,
Did this vehicle CB37589 come with double glazing?
It came with protective glazing (which is a type of double glazing), S357A. The protective glazing units have a tendency to delaminate, it's possible they have been replaced with regular double glazing.Did this vehicle CB37589 come with double glazing?

Also, did M5s come with heated wing mirrors, at all?
All E39 M5's had heated wing mirrors.No, two types :
S352A Sound Insulating double glazing, 145 UK cars.
S357A Protection Glazing which has a layer of polycarbonate laminate in the outer glass, 34 UK cars.
You can tell them apart (if the protection glazing is not de-laminating!) by the shape of the black surround in the top rear corner of the front windows and top corners of the rear windows. Protection glazing has a rounded inner radius, double glazing has an angle.
Double Glazing
Protection Glazing (showing signs of de-lamination)
Protection Glazing should not be confused with Individual Sun Shade Glazing S761A (478 UK cars), which is tinted glass on the rear windows and rear screen. This could be ordered together with Double Glazing (44 UK cars) but I think not with Protection Glazing, at least there are no RHD cars with both.

Richard, do you know if, armed with the option code, you can determine what model of phone would fit in the car? I think I already know the make but if I could Google for the right model I might try to pick up an old phone that will fill the awkward gap in the armrest, even if I could never make a call from it!

If you have the code it should be possible, or even just a picture of the arm rest.RichardM5 said:

Cheers Richard. The code is "S632AVorbereitung BMW Handy (Motorola)" and here is what the armrest looks like:
Judging by the space, which is pretty small, I am assuming some kind of flip phone with a stubby aerial sticking out at the top?
That will be a Motorola V50 or V60.
For it to work, you need to get the version with special BMW software, for example (no relationship will seller) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTOROLA-V50-Mobile-Cell...

This one? (Sorry, the light was poor in the garage)
Looks like I have the connector the wrong way up - should be able to see 'Top' on the end terminal.
Very few markings other then 'Motorola' on the outside of the phone but looks like this when flipped open:
Some ID on the inside might be useful identifying it:
Hope this helps.

Many thanks Richard. It never would have occurred to me to look for one with 'BMW software' on it. It is more to 'fill the gap' than actually use but I suppose I may as well get the correct version.For it to work, you need to get the version with special BMW software, for example (no relationship will seller) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTOROLA-V50-Mobile-Cell...
